Great Battle in Progress.
A great battle between the French and Prussians is now in progress. Rumors say the Prussians have been defeated, but everything is indefinate and we will have to wait for further information.
OUR whilom friend David S. Gooding, who is now the Democratic candidate for Congress in Julian's old District, and who is certain to be beaten by Judge Wilson, says he has not changed his views at all, but the Republicans have left him, and he had to join the Democracy or be out in the cold. Here are his sentiments, as given in a speech at Fort Wayne in 18G4: "MY FKLLOW CITIZENS—There are, in my opinion, but three classes who deserve hanging, and hell without the benefit of clergy, and they are the rebels, their foreign aider and abettors, and the copperhead Democracy of tho North. Why, my fellow citizens, I have known these Democratic copperheads to sell their last cow, which gave milk for the baby, to get money enough to buy a Dodd revolver to kill Union men and soldiers with."
WE have received the first number of the "Indiana Americanresuscitated after asleep of ten years, and edited by its former editor "Tom Goodwin." There is a good deal of spirit dripping from the tip of the editorial pen, and much independence avowed. It is Republican, but does not swallow all, or believe half what some Republican leaders say. It intends to "go it" on the independent Republican line, and for that, if for nothing else, we like it.
Cheap Insurance.
During the present demoralization in the business of Fire and Marine Underwriting, it seems to us of vital importance to the insuring public that they consider the situation carefully, and select as their underwriters the companies that "deal in reliable indemnity rather than cheap insurance," as the two cannot be secured in one office. The business of Fire Underwriting, when properly conducted is on a sure and a permanent foundation— there is no mystery in the business the cost of the burning hazard of any given risk is as correctly ascertained by the leading and experienced companies as the merchant by referring to his invoices and freight bills ascertains the cost of any article in his store. The company that sells its policies above cost and selects its business and patrons with care is as sure of success as the merchants who sells his ware at a fair profit and only credits men of known solvency, thrift and integrity while on the other hand, the company that through ignorance or recklessness will peddle its policies at less than cost, is as sure of ruin to itself and disaster to its patrons as is the merchant who will persist in selling his goods below invoice cost, and to all classes of credit customers, sure of bankruptcy to himself and disaster to those who furnished him stock on credit. In fact, in each and every branch of business, the income must ex ceed the outgo to insure success or the honorable fulfillment of contracts made. True, the party who buys goods from a merchant below cost ge't3 a bargain but not so with a person who purchases a cheap insurance, as in the first instance he has no direct interest in the success or ruin of the vendor, while in the latter he has a most direct and unmistakable interest in the success of the company, inasmuch as the protection furnished him is based on the future success of the company. No prudent man would deposit his money with a bank known to be paying out dividends and expenses largely in excess of its profits, as in the long run the deposits would be absorbed jn the general outgo, and the depositors be heavy losers. On the same principle no man should purchase a policy of insurance in a company known to be writing at rates tar below the actual cost.
Worth Searching For.
The Public, a Parisian newspaper, makes the following statement, which will excite cupidity in not a few bosoms. It relates to nothing less than a treasure estimated at more than $600,000 value, buried in the forest of Bondy, which is 'about eight miles northeast of Paris. The matter has been brought before the Corps Legislatif by petition. The petitioner alleges, as a historical fact, that during the night of the 16th of January, 1793, a box containing the jewels and ornaments of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, with parchment and title deeds belonging to the royal family, and also their private correspondence, was carried oft' from the Chateau of Mudon and then buried in the forest. A carpenter named Faure had been in the possession of a minutely detailed list of the articles, and the document contained a description of the local surroundings and benchmarks, which would enable any one to find the place where the treasure was buried.
Several clandestine attempts have been made to discover the spot, but without success. The list was accidentally destroyed during a fire, but M. Faure can give a complete description of the chest and he can enumerate the objects which it contained, viz: 1. An oval medallion, of the size of a six franc piece, set with precious stones, aud representing on one side, Louis X\ I, and on the other Maria Antoinette. 2. Six pair of bracelets. 3. A large number of rings. 4. A pair of sprigs for the ears. 5/A diadem. 6. A crucifix. 7. A "videpoche." 8. A collar containing fiom 72 to 78 pearls. 9. A violet colored costume, ornamented with lace and jewels. 10. The ornaments of the King. 11. His secret correspondence. 12. The title deeds and parchment of the royal family.
These details are all given in the burned list, which, however, estimated the value of the Queen's jewels at $652,000. The Public gives no explanation as to how the list came into possession of M. Faure. He surely could not have been made the depository of such a secret. Nor does it state whatthe Corps Legislatif Is a«ked to do in the matter.
A LARGE and enthusiastic meeting was held by the German residents of Richmond, Virginia, Monday night, to express sympathy for their brothers in arms. The Germans of St. Louis also held a meeting and made arrangements for a celebration of the recent German victories by a procession, and a festival at the fair ground. -,
In the church system in Norway there is a very wise arrangement, whereby, a clergyman past work may retire with a superanuatitfn, which is charged against the income of his successor. There is also a widow's farm attached to each globe, so that on the death of a rector, his wife is not driven from her old home without any place of shelter.
